Legalized Abuse In American Courts

Surprised? Why, look at what happened with NFL and Ray Rice, a two day suspension. Until, TMZ, obtained and released the whole video that could have been obtained months ago by the NFL but wasn't. 

Janey Rice blaming everyone except her x-husband is classic in abuse cases, but sadly it will happen again and it was going on long before this case came out.  Why, do women recant their story or try to bury it once they've told it?  Because of statements like this posted by the Ravens, who placed the blame on Palmer when the incident first came to light in May, tweeting, “Janay Rice says she deeply regrets the role that she played the night of the incident.”  And the coverage by Fox News that actually mocked the victim; by shrugging it off and saying "the message is take the stairs."

The Courts like the Fox News anchors above in this Case failed the American public by giving Rice such a lite sentence and blaming the victim.  

It happens with Marital Masters ironically name Love in New Hampshire. 

The Realities of Domestic Violence Proceedings

- Continuing Legal Education Publication Released to Public for FREE based on NH and Federal Laws

"There comes a time when the mind takes a higher plane of knowledge but can never prove how it got there." Albert Einstein

Over the years survival of unspeakable crimes dims, but it is never fully eradicated. Domestic Violence is an Oppressive and Continuing Crime in this country; I am releasing my research and creation of a Continuing Legal Education Course, I created while attending Nashua Community College under the watchful eye of Professor Robert A. Lubitz Esq. director of their Paralegal Program.  NCC hosted this event on 10/23/10 with the assistance of my panel member's listed on page 6. and together we received a 95% approval rating. 

In an effort to help all of the player's who can make a difference in the life of a domestic violence victim and their family this course originally approved by the NH Bar Association and NH Supreme Court Rules and the National Federation of Paralegals for 6 credits and a full credit in ethics, highlights the roles of the victim, the lawyer, the police, the paralegal, the therapist, the Gal, the Advocate and Ethics that bind these roles.

This was written and produced in 2010 as The Realities of Domestic Violence Proceedings (027293) approved for 5.0 general credits and 1.0 ethics credit for a total of 6 live credits; it should of course be cross referenced to be sure the laws are up to date.  Any material included in this Manuel can only be reproduced with the specific author's permission as found in each section.

Albert Einstein  once said "Knowledge of what is does not open the door directly to what should be."  However, with a bit of effort we can all make dam sure we use our knowledge to make it what it should be.

N.H. Publicly caught in Child Protection Services scheme that deprived Children

Here we go again, this time I reminded of a quote by Steve Jobs you know that superstar of Apple; He once said "you can't connect the dots looking forward; you can only connect them looking backwards. So you have to trust that the dots will somehow connect in your future. You have to trust in something - your gut, destiny, life, karma, whatever. This approach has never let me down, and it has made all the difference in my life." 

Well as one Mom, it looks like  the dots are starting to connect against New Hampshire's Child Protection Services; and those dots corroborate what I have disclosed not only in my blog; but, for which I have investigated relentlessly and brought to the attention of several legislators and legislative committees as well as NH Governor Lynch; and I am not the only one "unhappygrammy" has asserted her grievances as well and numerous others some who have spoken out and others who only let me view their files if I promised only to disclose their names off the record if needed to State Legislators, and to all those who are seeking the truth it is starting to unravel...

The above Reported by Annmarie Timmins of the Concord Monitor staff on May 20, 2012 the above article that confirms my findings on Maggie Bishop and DHHS Toumpas on May 15, 2012.

Two national child advocacy groups the "First Start and the Children's Advocacy Institute at the University of San Diego Law School", http://www.firststar.org/LinkClick.aspx?fileticket=y5NGNY0iBqk%3D&tabid=74 (if this link does not attach simply google "a national report card on abuse and neglected children" and you will get all additions and find that New Hampshire is consistent at getting worst) they rated each state's legal protections for children and New Hampshire Failed at 58% as they did in their Federal Audits both rounds; which were based on random cases pulled in each district they scored 66% in most areas some less.  The pattern is simply that Bishop and Toumpas continue to lie and cover up their departments inadequate services and mislead legislators with deceptive visual aids in graphs and stats.

Factors that legislators should be aware of and work on to correct are as follows:

• "New Hampshire law does not mandate that a child get an attorney in abuse and neglect cases"; CASA is merely a volunteer, with their own bias and not an attorney by any stretch of the imagination.

• "While the state requires guardians ad litem to have specialized training, it does not require abuse and neglect attorneys who are not guardians ad litem to be similarly trained." Furthermore, unrecognized is that CASA non-educated volunteers receive more training than guardians ad litem's; and to file a complaint on a GAL their board will charge you $100.00; furthermore, none of the combined players receives education on how to conduct a full investigation and cross reference records; something, I learned at Nashua Community College under the direction of Professor Lubitz's program that required the knowledge of how to do a full investigation and the connection of all the dots.

• "The state does not limit the caseload for attorneys handling abuse and neglect cases." The state limits attorneys handling these cases to those that are incompetent, new and not busy; all attorneys should be required to be educated in this role and take on at least one case a year. Something the monopoly of the New Hampshire Bar could work on simply because they require each Attorney to be licensed in order to practice; coincidentally not a mandated requirement in most States.

• The article relays that the State earned a perfect score for having a "State law that
grants a child in these cases legal status and assures they have rights." However, that does not mean they are strictly giving children their rights, without a lawyer to push for those rights it is inconceivable to believe that a child or pro se parent would know how to assure that their alleged legal status and rights were upheld; as shown in the Federal Audits new Hampshire Failed in this area.  Check the Government site under Child and Family Reports. I would provide the link but it appears DHHS has instructed a programmer to misdirect links as contained in MY previous article.

• "Ostrowski" president of Child and Family Services (a group that requires their workers to be trained in assisting families with a related background) is quoted as stating ... "the state's decision to cease giving parents attorneys in abuse and neglect cases hurts the kids as well as the parents." "It's in everyone's best interest," he said. " Everyone's best interest would be served with an appointed attorney for the Parent and the Child, each; Children's right to an Attorney is something I fought for over 20 years ago in Massachusetts, as a teenager growing up with foster brothers and sisters who were not getting the representation that they needed in court! In the above report it shows Massachusetts earned an A+.  major changes just over the border.

James Welch once stated "Before, Indian people had been so defeated, they were always looking for outsiders, for the government, to somehow come in and fix things. But now, they seem to realize that they're the only ones who can save themselves."

Maybe it's simply that FDR's New Deal in protecting children was overreached or never modeled to prevent the abuse's that occur in this country because of it. Yes, he did some great things he broke up monopolies, made better labor laws, and food and drug acts, he even had 6 children of his own.  However, he also created the bomb that ended World War II and destroyed an entire city of live people, men, women and children not involved in the war any more than other men, women and children in America. Truman dropped it; but FDR created it and would have used it ruthlessly; he also advocated testing the affects of the bomb on the children he trapped in the Child Protection Program; children who were suppose to be protected by the Government not used as pawns in experimental medicine's, vaccines and money making schemes for each State.

The time to act is now; these courts need to be open to the public they serve, records and accountability across the board need to be demanded; otherwise 40 years from now your children will wonder why you simply choose to step-aside and ignore the pleas of millions of families and children in the United States; as history continues to repeat itself, simply because you refused to learn from the past. 

THE ULTIMATE BLUNDER

Psychologists, Courts, Child protection workers, Guardians

Aristotle once said: All human actions have one or more of these seven causes: chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire. 

Understanding the individual is in recognizing every soul has a purpose, a reason for being, finding the nerve to recognize and act on the obstacles in your path, doesn't require a psychologist, it requires finding one person and it only takes one who believes in you; who pushes you to take chances; “Everyone’s a prisoner until they ask questions and find the answers.” "Socrates"

Finding the answers your looking for in a person that has the same causes for existence as you do? Psychology/Psychiatry is the only medical profession that allows their members to treat ailments that their very boards do not recognize and provide drugs to treat these ailments, be very wary of the drugs it offers your children.    

Fraud, oh I mean, Freud once said "Analysis does not set out to make pathological reactions impossible, but to give the patients ego freedom to decide one way or another.

Meaning all psychologist's react and act within a realm of undefined measures against what is reality as their ego dictates; where analysis does not make pathological reactions "impossible"; analysis by the Psychologist/Psychiatrist "does make reactions pathological" - because Freud also once said "Every normal person, in fact, is only normal on the average. His ego approximates to that of the psychotic in some part or other and to a greater or lesser extent."

That being said or analyzed; whenever a social worker pushes a Court to get a psychological assessment on any one to submit to a court, be prepared because, the father of modern psychology Freud said "every" normal person, even the most rounded upstanding citizen is psychotic in some part or other that would include; the person testing, the social worker, and the Judge, ALL of whom will have a number of "pathology's"; because not to have them would in fact be deemed abnormal; the problem comes in when a social worker and/or a Judge tries to interpret test results behind closed doors - an area where only gray can exist, that becomes twisted and obscene upon the observer, over the dissection, because the Father of modern psychology says so.

What the courts do not ascertain and cross exam is that All human actions have one or more causes and they do not bother to acknowledge which one it was chance, nature, compulsions, habit, reason, passion, desire? What triggered it? What feeds into the formula in a forum that accepts heresay without factual evidence?  How do you determine the fitness of parent, when a report done by some person who has viewed/interviewed the person for a few short hours against a standardized test with results tested and formulated around inmates; really the average person may have run into a chance exception, or wasn't truly in their nature, a compulsion caused by trauma, a habit, inability to reason at precise moment, driven by blinded passion or desire, lack of education, and then for what purpose what is the why? Perhaps it was for none of the above because not enough question's were asked on ALL sides; what if it never existed - they are innocent and in a state of turmoil due to separation from their child is that exam still valid?  What if a Child is separated from their parent should their outward behavior be ruled as unacceptable and should they be drugged to prevent them from asking about their parents, family, siblings and friends? That would be expecting and accepting the improbability that the child's behavior doesn't stem from grief, depression, anguish and loss.

Now what about that truly evil person who should not be a parent - the one who knows how to take the standardized test and it shows that their nature, compulsion, habit, ability to reason, passions and/or desires, as well as their education does NOT support the findings and real facts we all come to associate with the American Justice system; because they are completely disregarded by the Judge? What if the child shows no sign of friends ever visiting that parents home, that they are not allowed to talk about what goes on in that home, that they are unable to call friends or meet with them outside of school? Is that not a sign of a bigger issue? What if they are told that they can't not participate in sports or other events because they have to see the other parent? Is that not a form of control?

Behind closed doors the truth is buried and when they realize their mistake it gets buried deeper until they Child protection workers like the vulture/abusive parent start to believe their own fabrications.

The fact is everyday in the United States and other countries children are taken away from their parents or not being kept safe because a standardized test, that the testers, Child protection workers and the Judge who ordered them would show at least multiple pathology's on or be deemed abnormal if they took it - is being used and reasoned as a tool to say they will do harm in the future; or sadly to ignore the facts the real undisputed facts and say a child and eyewitness's are lying. Or that the child's disclosure against the innocent parent while living with the abusive parent is true without any facts to support it; unless they obtain the real facts found in therapists records never checked that show the child never said any of the things relayed to the Court, because the therapist started to believe one parent or favor one parent over another and disregarded their daily notes that documented what the child really said. Notes that the Courts and DCYF workers seek to surpress.

Oscar Wilder once said: "In all matter's of opinion, our adversaries are insane"

Children's worst adversaries are the Child Protection Service Worker, uneducated Guardian's acting on their behalf and Judges ALL purporting to be acting for the greater good; when children become wards of the State their Warden is the State as their guardian, subjecting them to unspeakable conscience shocking realities, being drugged, put in homes with no where to go when they turn 18, without resources, without direction and all because up to the age of 18, the State received Federal Funding up to 75% to employ the CPSW, GAL and Judge who took them away from their natural families and it needs to be stopped; because the child who needed help is not getting it and living in waste.

“We must always think about things, and we must think about things as they are, not as they are said to be.” George Bernard Shaw

Looking at things as they are, if the government practice is right and just for these children why do we need laws to reinstate parental rights? http://www.mainelegislature.org/legis/statutes/22/title22sec4059.html 

Push your legislators to adopt open courts for accountability and laws such as Maine's to correct the injustices that are occurring around the United States and your very neighborhood now. http://www.usa.gov/Contact/Elected.shtml

TACTIC'S IMPOSED ON DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS IN N.H.

To check the status and changes to this bill see: http://e-lobbyist.com/gaits/text/507561

Part of this Bill had language that indicated that if the officer had not witnessed the crime, it would require police to get a warrant before arresting someone on a domestic violence charge and consequently other crimes. The question to State Rep. Reilly of Grafton N.H. is: "Really, how many times are police, anywhere in this world, present for the crimes that occur?" It appears he is not answering questions and did not show up to hearings at the state house, on the matter he placed before the committee.

COURT ROOM TACTICS

UTILIZED BY ABUSERS TO CONTROL DOMESTIC VIOLENCE VICTIMS

The domestic violence batter wants control; and that control can take many forms; from physical sometimes apparent beatings to demoralizing verbal abuse and threats. Another form is this: once the victim takes measures to end the abuse and get a divorce the abuser than takes their spouse to court on frivolous charges repetitively, to gain custody of the child(ren) which gives the batter further control over his victim that he feels he lost when she left him.

The abuser at this point, then focuses his negative attention toward the Child(ren) and uses them to intentionally interfere with the custodial time of the victim, it starts slowly but progressively by not bringing children back on time, not paying child support, making false allegations against the victim; so much so, that the victim can hardly keep up with watching her back, trying to work, be a mother and move forward - due to the numerous charges levied against them; because division of assets is typically frozen at this stage and the abuser has control of the money, it leaves victims without the resources to combat the negative campaign levied against them.

The results of reviewing many cases in the N.H. system, show that an abuser can and does intentionally interfere in the parent/child relationship as a form of controlling his victim, by gaining custody of them.

N.H. RSA 461:A, supports continuing contact and shared responsibilities between Mothers and Fathers in a divorce. I think everyone can agree that every child desires to know the source of his being, to be connected to that source, and will go to great lengths to maintain that connection.  Children always seek the care, compassion and nurture of their parents, and feel a great loss when that connection is hindered or broken.

When the contact between a parent and child is threatened, the following government study gives us an important clue as to the children's often sudden resistance to spending time with the victim when the victim is a woman:

A study completed by the Office on Child Abuse and Neglect, US Children’s Bureau (2006), and (ironically) titled “The Importance of Fathers in the Healthy Development of Children”

 
2.1 The Impact of the Mother-Father Relationship on Child Outcomes
One of the most important influences a father can have on his child is indirect—fathers influence their children in large part through the quality of their relationship with the mother of their children. A father who has a good relationship with the mother of their children is more likely to be involved and to spend time with their children and to have children who are psychologically and emotionally healthier. ... One of the most important benefits of a positive relationship between mother and father, ... Fathers who treat the mothers of their children with respect and deal with conflict within the relationship in an adult and appropriate manner are more likely to have boys who understand how they are to treat women and who are less likely to act in an aggressive fashion toward females. Girls with involved, respectful fathers see how they should expect men to treat them and are less likely to become involved in violent or unhealthy relationships. In contrast, research has shown that husbands who display anger, show contempt for, or who stonewall their wives (i.e., "the silent treatment") are more likely to have children who are anxious, withdrawn, or antisocial. ⁸

The abuser would have everyone believe that the child (ren) have become this way of his/her own "free will" that it is the Child's choice to treat their mother in a dismissive or resistant manner. The Reality is, the child has been immersed in the father's actions, behaviors, and choices regarding their mother, and has likely internalized these negative messages to reflect his/her father, possibly for emotional safety.

Children take their cues about how they "should" act, think or feel from the people who have the greatest influence in their lives; as such, if the Father demonstrated his ability to view visits with the Mother positively, the child's behavior would reflect that and vice versa.

Instead, it is at this point that the Child’s behavior is suggestive of fear, threatening and intimidation.  Just as children can be unduly influenced by negative attitudes and beliefs, they are even quicker to internalize such messages if they are also exposed to negative consequences for desiring something contrary to the "undue influencer's" wishes. Taking away special toys, cherished pets or reminders of happy times are all ways in which children can be coerced, and are methods that the abuser will engage in with the purpose of gaining the child's cooperation in resisting connection with the victim of these acts.  For more information on persuasion see: https://webspace.utexas.edu/emc597/persuasion.html .

We know children wish to be connected to the estranged parent when they express loss over the belief that the estranged parent "gave up custody" of him/her.  If the child did not care whether or not he/she saw the target parent, the idea that the target parent so readily gave up custody of him - as has been communicated to them by some unknown party - would be of little consequence to them.   to see more click yes here

FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE                                         

NASHUA, NH

JUNE 27, 2011

Contact: Denise-Marie Cutter/McIntosh

               dmvc@comcast.net

 

Denise-Marie Cutter/McIntosh, a 2010 graduate of the Nashua Community College Paralegal Program with Academic Distinction, was awarded a full-tuition scholarship for the academic year 2011-2012 from The American College of History and Legal Studies (ACHLS), on her pathway to law school.

Denise-Marie, a Western Massachusetts native, who at a young age advocated for children’s rights in the foster care system and graduated from high school after her junior year, was also one of the first and youngest women to be asked to join the Chicopee Lions Club.  Denise is still a forceful advocate for the rights of children and families.  She is furthering her legal education with the goal to hold accountable those parties who are legally entrusted with the welfare of children and families.    

Denise has actively served as President of the NCC Paralegal Club for 2009/2010, was an active participant with the Paralegal Association of New Hampshire serving on several committees, and has worked with legislators on laws affecting the community. She is also dedicated to promoting literacy as a member of the Nashua, N.H. Summerfun committee, and organizer of the acclaimed Fairy Tale Festival, specifically designed to promote literacy for children. The Fairy Tale Festival drew a record attendance of 5500 last year, and this year’s show on July 16, 2011 is sure to be a hit. 

Denise continues to set the standard for professionals in the legal field.  Prior to graduation, she conceived and implemented a full-day continuing legal education course on the pressing issue of domestic violence.  Held in October of 2010, the course was approved by the New Hampshire Bar Association and the National Federation of Paralegal Associations for 6 credits including 1credit in ethics.  The course received a 95% approval rating from those in attendance, demonstrating that Denise’s academic success is only matched by her success outside the classroom. 

With creative social networking skills and a background in research, Denise is also a faithful steward of every task entrusted to her.  Denise has been recognized as having the perseverance, initiative and extraordinary determination to succeed in any project, objective or goal she pursues.  Her commitment to further her education in pursuing her legal career, often while working two or three jobs, is apparent, unwavering, and fervent.
